Very important study!! Check out the physiological and life-history to experimental evolution for thermal tolerance 👇
Some surprising results that help us better understand trade-offs and physiological mechanisms conferring thermal sensitivity

How do fish evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, and are there trade-offs? We explore these questions in our new paper

How vulnerable are #amphibians to extreme heat? 🐸🌡️
Our paper in @nature.com shows that many amphibians are already overheating, and many more species will be impacted by climate warming globally.

Amphibians are at risk of overheating due to climate change in both hemispheres
2% species are currently exposed to overheating even in shaded conditions, so water bodies are essential for them to buffer the effects of heat waves @patricepottier.bsky.social @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hot frogs and sizzling salamanders: climate change is pushing amphibians to their limits
New research shows frogs and other amphibians are already on the brink of overheating in a warming world. Here’s how many will suffer as global temperatures rise.

6) Microhabitats that include shade, vegetation, & water bodies are critical for buffering the effects of climate change 🌏. Immediate action is needed to manage these microhabitat features (especially water sources!).

5) The results are alarming. Even accounting for shade, skin wetness & acclimation, the risk of overheating under a warming climate is high globally 🔥. The risk is 4-folds higher under +4C than a +2C scenario.

4) Hourly body temperature can be extracted from the biophysical models to estimate thermal safety margins & the number of overheating events 🥵.

3) We then used biophysical models to calculate the microclimate in each species range under 3 habitats (arboreal, aquatic, terrestrial) & 2 future climate scenarios (+2 or +4C warming). Totalling >100K models! This took supercomputers from @unsw.bsky.social to achieve!

2) For thermal limits, @patricepottier.bsky.social developed a novel imputation method to predict CTmax of 5.2K species from a known dataset. This imputation accounted for within-species variation, acclimation, & phylogeny.

1) For each 🐸 species, we needed to know their thermal tolerance, distribution range, & the microclimates experienced in their range and across time. We used multiple data sources to get this data.
